Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. and Austrian Airlines (Notice of Action Taken)
Undocketed | Filed February 10, 1998 | Action Taken March 27, 1998
We determined that in light of our open-skies relationship with Austria and our overall positive aviation relationship with Mexico, it would be consistent with the public interest to grant the Aeromexico-Austrian request. We also note that on February 25, 1998, we granted an analogous, albeit unopposed, request by Aeromexico to carry Swissair's code in the Cancun-Atlanta market, for Swissair's scheduled services to and from Switzerland, for a period of 179 days, which is through August 23, 1998. We note, however, that while we are actively pursuing a liberal code-sharing arrangement with Mexico that would include code-share opportunities for carriers of both countries with third-country airlines, to date we have not reached a satisfactory accord with Mexico on this issue. Against this background, we have decided to limit the duration of our award here to August 23. 1998.
Furthermore, we put Aeromexico and its code-share partners on notice that, should we not be able to reach an acceptable code-share arrangement with Mexican authorities by the expiration date of these authorities, they should not anticipate extension of their extant code-share authorizations for U.S. operations with thirdcountry carriers.
